Hermeneutics and the Philosophy of Religion ― The Legacy of Paul Ricoeur

The 34th annual conference in the series celebrated the centenary of French philosopher Paul Ric?ur (1913-2005), whose contributions to hermeneutics and the philosophy of religion left a mark in the field. Eight papers and responses to them cover hermeneutics and religion, philosophy and biblical poetry, and hermeneutics and theology. Among specific topics are confidence in the power of memory: Ricoeur's dynamic hermeneutics of life, ontological aspects of his concept of hermeneutics, trajectories of biblical poetry and interpretive prose in Psalm 22 and in the passion of Mark as a Hegelian moment in Ricoeur's philosophy of religion, hermeneutics of the self as a legacy of Reformation thought, and adhesion to the essential: from sacred text to faithful action.
